so after talking to the current PCVs about mailing tips i have a few good ones i thought id share with whoever was interested in sending me something.
- big envelopes are less likely to be opened and rummaged through than small boxes
- on the custom slips (needed for anything bigger then a normal size envelope), write things that are undesirable for mauritanians to steal ex. "letters from home, tampons, etc"
i know the thought of receiving letters doesnt sound like the highlight in your day back in america but here it def is so only 94 cents could make my day!
